Chapter 106 All-Star Substitute

Author: Different Sparks

January 31st is the Timberwolves’ last regular season game in January.

On this day, the league's official website released the Eastern and Western reserves for the 2014 New Orleans All-Stars.

Compared with many fans, many professionals are very much looking forward to the outcome of the All-Star substitute lineup, because in their opinion, the substitute lineup selected by 30 head coaches can better reflect professional standards.

What surprised Da Zhuang was that Greg Oden also became a member of the Western Conference bench lineup.

In addition to Oden, the bench lineup in the Western Conference includes James Harden of the Rockets, Lillard and Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Chris Paul of the Clippers, and Tony Parker of the Spurs.

The six plus Oden form the Western Conference's reserve seven.

Bosh from the Heat, Love from the Cavaliers, Hibbert from the Pacers, DeRozan from the Raptors, Millsap from the Hawks, Joe Johnson from the Nets and Wall from the Wizards in the East. These seven people make up the Eastern Conference.

Substitute lineup.

In addition, there was another piece of news in the announcement that made many fans around the world very concerned. In the end, Kobe was unable to participate in the All-Star Game, and his starting position was replaced by Davis.

Such a result also makes many fans very disappointed.

Lowry, Noah and Cousins, who were previously favored by some people, were not selected, and even Duncan was not on the list.

In addition, for the Timberwolves, Bennett and Middleton will both participate in the Rookie Challenge. By then, Bennett and Middleton will most likely change from teammates to opponents.

Da Zhuang even heard Carter tell him that these two guys actually made a private bet on which team would win. What Da Zhuang didn't expect was that someone would dare to open the handicap. Da Zhuang didn't expect such a bold person.

It turned out to be Rubio. Da Zhuang had no idea that the Spanish golden boy would have such a hobby. For this, this guy also paid the price of treating the whole team to a feast.

After the league announced the list of substitutes, various discussions frequently appeared in various media. Naturally, some local media of the team of the losing player would be dissatisfied or make sarcastic comments.

And it was amid such discussion that the Timberwolves ushered in their last game in January.

At 6 pm on January 31st, the Timberwolves welcomed the Memphis Grizzlies at the Target Center.

In the end, relying on the three red buffs created by Da Zhuang, the Timberwolves also defeated the Grizzlies 100 to 89, perfectly completing the final game of January.

But before Da Zhuang had time to wake up from the joy of a perfect ending to the January competition, he became the target of some people's bombardment.

On February 1st, when the Timberwolves were preparing to go to the venue for today's back-to-back away game, the Sacramento Kings arrived in New York. They will challenge the Knicks tonight. As soon as the Kings showed up, they were blocked by reporters on the scene.

Yes, these reporters are basically targeting Cousins.

The question raised is naturally about Cousins' failure to be selected for the All-Star team.

The reason is simple. These guys didn't know where they learned that Cousins ​​lost his temper in training after learning that he was not selected for the list, so these guys were ready to add fuel to the fire.

"DeMarcus, what are your expectations for this All-Star Weekend? And what do you think of this All-Star lineup?"

For such a straightforward issue that adds fuel to the fire, it stands to reason that Cousins ​​could block these people's bad intentions by saying no comment, or it would also be okay to say hello, me, and everyone, but who knows?

Cousins ​​finally found an outlet for his depressed mood.

"I have the least expectations for this year's All-Stars. The result was already determined after the lineup came out. The Eastern Conference will definitely win. All this is because they have a head coach who only knows how to show off.

He is actually a guy who doesn't have much ability in speaking, so I think not being included in the All-Star list is actually a good thing now."

After saying that, Cousins ​​pushed aside the crowd and left.

The reporter on the scene was so happy that he quickly went back to write the press release. What is this? This is money! This is traffic!

When Da Zhuang learned all this, it was already the second day of the game against the Eagles.

Unfortunately, the start of February was not as perfect as the previous two months. Last night at Phillips Arena, facing the home team Atlanta Hawks, the Timberwolves ultimately lost the first game of February 97-110.

.

"Is this guy mentally ill? Why would he stand up and say this?"

In the large office, Smith held up a newspaper and pointed at what Cousins ​​said in an interview published on it, feeling very puzzled.

Chen Dazhuang, on the other hand, smiled. He could understand why Cousins ​​​​would target him. Logically speaking, Dazhuang only had one-thirtieth of the votes to make the substitute list. It makes no sense for Cousins ​​​​to lose the election.

Bombard yourself.

Da Zhuang estimates that the reason why he is like this is entirely due to one sentence, and he is too picky about the weak.

Looking at everyone in the All-Star East-West game, he was the only one suitable to be the target of his venting. Cousins ​​also had to weigh the consequences of offending others, so he didn't choose between the left and the right, so he chose himself.

There is nothing I can do about it. My age is there, and it is my rookie season. I have no qualifications and will naturally become the choice of many people.

To put it bluntly, if Popovich serves as the head coach of the All-Stars, do you think Cousins ​​would dare to criticize him?

Cousins, right? Let me write down the age of labor and management in a special notebook for you. Damn it, let’s see who of us dies first.

"Okay, stop talking about these irrelevant things. The mouth is on other people. He can say whatever he wants. What else can you do to him? You can get the situation back when you have the chance in the future. You have this time.

It’s better to think more about your opponent.”

To deal with such people, Da Zhuang has always been very particular about not beeping if he can do it.

At this time, in the league's president's office, David Stern and Xiao Hua were also discussing Chen Dazhuang.

"Does this matter need to be reconsidered, or should we step in to prevent these disputes?"

"Reconsider? Do you mean changing the head coach? Adam, do you think it will be less controversial if we change it? And do you think it can be replaced? In addition, I have reminded you many times, we are a business

League, is controversy necessarily a bad thing? I don’t think so. Instead, I think this is a good opportunity to increase the attention of the All-Stars. Everything has pros and cons. You can’t only see the bad side without seeing the good.

side."

"Do you mean to let it go like this? Will this have any impact on the image of the league?"
